Anyway, a month ago I woke up with what I thought was a sinus migraine (very common for me throughout my life). The ear pain went away quickly but I was left with something I can't describe. Almost like vertigo or tingling in my face. Like my face tingles before I throw up and it feels like that. But I don't have to throw up. Except that first day, I did get nauseous for a bit and then it went away. Second morning, same thing with the tingling feeling. Then I got suddenly very nauseous and threw up... And was basically fine after that.
Fast forward to yesterday morning, same thing happened. Still feeling vertigo or tingling, no real nausea.
WTF is this and how do I get rid of it?
(Without dying, preferably)Sometimes you just need to yeet a bobcat *
Being an Illini fan is a goddamn curse.*
Would probably go have a doctor look at it to be safe.*

When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”
I copied and pasted your main paragraph into google. It told me
Migraine with aura: Migraine headaches can be accompanied by an "aura," which can involve sensory symptoms like numbness or tingling in the face, hands, or other body parts. This tingling might be similar to the sensation you described before vomiting. Aura symptoms typically precede or accompany the headache and are often temporary.
Vestibular migraine: This type of migraine specifically affects the vestibular system (responsible for balance) and can cause dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, nausea, and vomiting, sometimes even without a headache. Facial tingling or numbness can also be a symptom of vestibular migraine, according to NHS Lanarkshire. Nerve irritation/inflammation: Sinus infections can cause inflammation that can affect nearby nerves, potentially leading to facial tingling or numbness. Inflammation and pressure in the sinuses can also affect the ears, which are connected to the balance centers of the body, potentially causing dizziness.
Other neurological conditions: While less likely given your history of migraines and the transient nature of your symptoms, conditions like Bell's palsy, multiple sclerosis, or even a stroke can cause facial numbness and tingling. However, the gradual onset and resolution of your symptoms, as well as the presence of vomiting, make these less probable in your situation.
Anxiety or stress: These can manifest physically in a variety of ways, including tingling sensations, nausea, and even vomiting, according to Verywell Health
It's tricky to get prior authorization for an MRI of your noggin, but I expect the board's physicians can tell you which additional symptoms you need to pretend having so you can have one.
I've already diagnosed myself with cancer and MS based on my Google searches*
